Though each woman is unique in her character and experiences we can both learn from her and offer her true empathy as only women and sisters can do.

Heidi's Day

First... I want to tell my sister who gave me this necklace and started this whole idea... THANK YOU! How sweet you are to think of this, buy the necklaces, hand them out, start a blog, write something special about each of us, and then continue to keep everyone posted on it! Love ya sista!

I decided to wear my necklace to church on Sunday. It's one of the only times I get dressed up and the necklace was t0o cute to wear with jeans and a dirty, holey t-shirt. Then I wore it while I napped on the couch after church. (Gotta love a Sunday afternoon!) Lastly, I wore it to "The Campbell's Halloween Birthday Party" at my sister-in-law's house.

Here are the unbelievable things that happened while I was wearing the necklace: I ran into Taylor Lautner, who said that I was super hot! Then I tripped and fell, but while I was on the ground I found a hundred dollar bill! And if you can believe it then I was mugged by a gang who wanted my new-found hundred dollar bill and they pulled out a gun to shoot me, but the bullet hit my necklace and ricocheted off back to them and they ran away!

Alright... not really. My day was just so, um, typical. But I'm content with that. That means no drama, no unwanted excitement, no stresses came up. That means that my family and I enjoyed a normal day together, and I love every normal and typical day I have with them!

What is Five Necklaces?

Think of it as a sociological experiment: How many women can we learn about? Will we be inspired by them? Will they make us laugh? Or will we just sympathize with the monotony of their day?

I gave my four sisters and my mom a necklace and told them how much I admired them. I then requested that they wear the necklace only once then tell me about their experiences or what they did while wearing it. Then they were to pass it on to someone else they admire...and so on.
